PITTSBURGH WONT MAKE NAILS.
The Manufacturers Up There Say There is
No Money In u.

No Money In II.
The Pittshurg nail business, with the
opening of spring trade, says the Leader, Is
less encouraging than it was during last
fall and winter. 4 great many more nails
are brought here and sold in our market
than what are sold to the home dealers by
our manufacturers. The reason why so
few of the nails made here are sold at home
is on account of the store order business.
The leading wholesale firm IN this
town handles about five thou
sand kegs of nails a month,
aud they buy nearly all their nails
from such nail men who have company
stores, mainly in Sharon and New Castle,
and some are shipped from the east that
are bought in this way. In this city Jones
x I.aughlin is the only firm that can bny
aud sell their nails in the same way. That
il the main reason why their factory is run
s,eadicr than any of the Others. our nail
manufacturers would have DO trouble IN
selling all the nails they can make. Out
side buyers always give them the prefer
ence, but the price of nails and iron VIII
not pay to make and sell them. One OF
our leading nail films il even selling their
raw muck iron rather than make II all into
nails. There il still another nail firm not
making any nails, ~ there il more money
in making the c0mmonest grades OF iron
from their raw material. Another nail
! firm will not make a key of nails ~ long
a. the present demand for pipe iron con
Times, which in price ranges among the
ordinary grades, and which in figures Is
ONLY little above common bar iron. Th'
present quotations of $365O ton fol
muck iron makes it impossible 10 sell tn,
,ommonest grades of finished iron will
ANYTHING like margin under y cent?
a pound. Any firm that has Ia
buy muck bars cannot put ton q
finished bar iron on hoard OF cars under
$3.50. And when these figures are put
on the lowest grades, pig iron, which
comes next, is always one-hali TO cent
pound more This is plainly seen in the
demand and great volume which Is greater
than One-third of the iron made, and near
| Iy one fourth of the whole net output al
| iron and in this county. All along there
has been about 22J nail machines in opera
ton out of 800, in three factories! But
lately il has dropped down 10 les than

there are 100 machines standing idle.

Cleveland BraLemen Threaten To Come
Out-sensational Rumors Afoat.
CLEVELAND, March l0.-The situation
at Cleveland to-day shows no decided
change.
Both strikers and officials are apparently
awaiting the decision the case of Frank
Kellogg, who was arrested for disobeying
AN Injunction restraining him from enter
ing the company's yards. All the strikers
were notified to present themselves at the
Office OF Superintendent 0'Brieu this
morning aud receive their pay.
The brakemen held meeting this fore
noon and decided 10 strike if the yardmen
called on them to do so. II is probable that
they will 90 out before evening.
The Erie Railroad Company this morn
ing ordered six of their engines taken back
to the main line. The strikers claim that
the Erie has given up the management OF
the New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio,
and hasorferef back al tteir rolling stock
and that the management of the latter
road will 20 hack into the hands of Presi'
dent Adams. Iardmaster keefe SAYS he
does not know why the engines were or,
dered hack to the Erie track, but says the
story OF the Erie's giving up the manage
ment OF the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio is ridiculous and uniounded.

THE UNIVERSITY TROUBLE.
The Facts in the Case Which Exonerate
2 the Faculty.

Special telegram 10 The Register.
MoRGANTowN, w. Va, March 10
The facts of the affair relating to the sus-
pension of students from tn z University
are simply these:
The winter term has just ! osed, and as
usual at the close OF term all of the stu
dents were subjected to an examination on
the studies of the term. 1t is one of the
rules that student shall not receive
assistance of any kind or from any
source whatever during an examination,
and he is required to sign a certificate or
pledge ut the end of his examination pa
pers. to that effect But this rule has been
violated so frequently by sly and unprinci-
pied students, by writing outlines OH their
shirt cuffs, or smuggling of some kind,
that general complaint arose among hon
est students, and demand was indirectly
made upon the faculty to have this cheat
ing, or ''mOnkeying" rs the boys call it,
suppressed. Accordingly the President
warned the whole body Of students prior to
entering upon the examinations, that il
would be severely punished.
Defying this warming, one Of the stu
dents. wrote out an outline, put il into
his pocket, took it to the class room and
deliberately used it in the examination.
He was charged with it; confessed; de-
| clared that he would rather cheat and
succeed than he honest and fail" He was
suspended for one year. Another student,
| who sat tneXt To him, was believed la have
been assisted by the same means, hut de-
nied it; ConlCssing, however, that he had
an outline in his pocket for another part
of the examination. which he did not need
| Ia Use. The similarity between the two
examination papers convinced the faculty
that two were in cOllusi0u and lie WAS suS'
pcnded for six months.
Two other students were charged with
copying their Latin exercises from another
student who sat next to them, aS the three
papers coTrcSponded exactly, including
mistakes aud all. They denied it, but
when called upon for their exercise books,
which the faculty desired To compare with
their examination papers Ia srr when AMI
by whom these mistakes originated, 1t was
found that the exercises Of the student
from whom these two copied were in har-
money with his examination paper, while
the exercises of the other twQ were not,
but had been altered 10 suit the circnm-
1 stances. This latter circumstance cOnviDc-
ed the faculty that the charge of cheating
was we'll founded, and they were suspend
ed for six months.

CHICAGO. March lU.-.A gentleman who
claims to have seen the original contract

statement:

Gus railway interests grew out of the et-
forts of Jay Gould 10 induce Robert

that Of the Western Union Telegraph Com
any.
Mr.. Garrett absolutely refused To be-
come avpaUty TO such an arrangement, and
declared that ne would always keep his
business interests under his own control;
that the telegraph and railroad interests
were iudentiCll, and that they would con

that he was inclined To free himself uf his
business cares by the absolute sale Of a
controlling interest in the Baltimore and
ohio Railroad, which would carry with 1t
the control of the telegraph and express
companies.
With this hint aS 4 basis, the negotia-

a syndicate composed aS follows: Calvin :.

Mr.. Davis was unequivOeal i'll his state

originated from the fact that such move

on the h. of l.. Dispute.
MONTREAL, March 10.-The following
from L'Elcrtcur is believed to have been
inspired from the Cardinals palace to pave
the way for a back-down on the part OF His
Eminence OF Quebec.
Cardinal Gibbons, who went to Rome
at the same time as Cardinal Taschereau,
has made Ia His Holiness a report favor
able 10 the organization of the knights OF
I.,bor as constituted in the United States.
Some NAV think that there is a diver
eence of opinion on the subject between
the tyo Cardinals. This is wrong
impression; it is not Cardinal Tasch-
ereau himself who condemned the
League ot the X. of l.. When it was cstab-
lished in Quebec His Eminence forwarded
to the Sacred Propaganda at Rome the
rules and programme Of the new society,
and in a pa~t0Fal letter which he addressed
To his Clergy on the same subject, he CON
fined himself to communicating TO his flock
the instructions received from Rome.
"We have it on good authoritV that there
is no divcrgrncy Of opinion whatever he
tween the Two American Cardinals relative
10 the orthodoxy of the society Of the
Knights of Labor. The question is at this
moment submitted 10 His Holiness, aud
whatever NAV he the decision which seems
likely to be favorable To the Knights it
will be- accepted with suhmissiveneSs by
the faithful OF Canada.
